Emmanuel Macron’s bloc has teamed up with a coalition of left and right Republican parties to prevent Le Pen’s party from gaining key positions.
Right party National Association, whose formal leader is Marine Le Pen, did not receive a major position in the National Assembly after the election. This was reported by BFM TV on Saturday, July 20.
So, today the heads of the eight standing committees of the lower house of the French parliament were elected. Incumbent President Emmanuel Macron’s bloc has teamed up with a coalition of left and right parties Republicansto prevent Le Pen’s party from gaining important positions.
In turn, Marine Le Pen said it was a “shameful maneuver.”
“The agreement concluded between the Macronists and Laurent Vauquier to give the latter representation where National Association has a legal right to the Bureau of our Assembly, is a shameful maneuver. Almost 11 million voters were denied their right to vote in favor of a party that won only 1.5 million,” he said.
As you know, in the second round of parliamentary elections, Marine Le Pen’s party suffered a complete failure. This happened because Macron’s centrist and left-wing parties, who usually dislike each other, agreed on the so-called Republican Front, an informal term that means creating a political barrier to the far right .
